The Crafty Poet II: A Portable WorkshopLike the original, The Crafty Poet II is organized into ten sections. We again end with "Revision," but this time we also begin with it in "Revising Your Process."

Like the original, The Crafty Poet II is organized into ten sections. We again end with "Revision," but this time we also begin with it in "Revising Your Process." That section is followed by one on "Entryways into Poems" which considers how a poet might get going with a poem and how a poet might pull in a reader with humor and enticing titles. There is in-depth discussion of the importance of choosing the right words; using syntax, line breaks, and spacing to advantage; and enhancing the music of poems. There is a meaty section on how to add complication to your poems, another on how to divert or transform your poems from their original intention, and another on special forms of poems. In "Expanding the Material" three poets consider how to write poetic sequences using paintings, photographs, and history. The final section, "Revision," moves beyond the usual advice to "get rid of adjectives" as one poet offers ways to revise via sound, another offers a series of expansion strategies, and, finally, poet Dick Allen issues a warning against excessive revision.

All ten sections include three craft tips, each provided by an experienced, accomplished poet. Each of these thirty craft tips is followed by a Model poem and a Prompt based on the poem. Each model poem is used as a mentor, again expressing the underlying philosophy of the first book that the best teacher of poetry is a good poem. You will find that the model poems receive more analysis than in the first book and that the prompts are a bit more challenging. Each prompt is followed by two Sample poems which suggest the possibilities for the prompts and should provide for good discussion about what works and what doesn't. Each section includes a Poet on the Poem Q&A about the craft elements in one of the featured poet's poems. Each section concludes with a Bonus Prompt, each of which provides a stimulus on those days when you just can't get your engine started.

Nice Product
Color: 2 Tier-Black, Color: 2 Tier-Black
Super Handy and So Stylish — A Must-Have for Any Kitchen! I’m really impressed with the Sinnsally Kitchen Sponge Holder! It’s simple, practical, and makes keeping my sink area neat so much easier. The 2-tier design is brilliant — the top shelf holds my sponges perfectly, while the bottom area keeps scrubbers and brushes organized and easily accessible. The stainless steel looks sleek and modern, and it has held up beautifully with daily use. Water drains well so everything dries quickly, and cleanup is a breeze. No more soggy sponges sitting around! Installation was quick and easy — it fits nicely right by the sink without taking up too much space. This little holder has made a big difference in keeping my kitchen tidy. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a clean, organized sink area with a touch of style!

Great space saver
Color: 2 Tier-Black
I love how this makes my sink so much more organized. For me, it holds a 20oz dish soap, a dish spray, 2 S.O.S. pads, 2 sponges, a steel wool scrubber, a bottle brush, a Stanley cap cleaner, and a sink stopper. I could still fit more if I wanted to. I can move the tall brush holder to whichever side I want, as well as the divider. It was super easy to put together, and functions well by draining all the drips right into my sink, instead of behind it. The black looks great and matches my kitchen well. This organized is built well and keeps mynsink area tidy and hygienic.

It Looks Nice and It Works
Color: 1 Tier-Black
I like it. It is too long for my sink area, but it still works. Next to my sink is a dish rack. One half of the caddy fits perfectly behind it, holding a 16oz bottle of dish soap and a 16oz bottle of multi-surface cleaner. The part of the caddy that fits on my sink ledge holds a sponge, scrubber and scouring pad, The caddy works great at keeping the ledge dry. It is a very nice, well-designed item. I recommend this caddy it's keeps everything organized and dry.

Good for organization, looks neat!
Color: 2 Tier-Black
I've had this for almost a year now and expect to have it for a few more; seems very durable. The drain board thingy requires consistent cleaning every few days, but its done in less than two minutes. I usually wash the entire thing every two weeks to keep it shiny as well. I am seeing a little bit of rust, but it's not too much and it's not noticeable if you don't look for it. It's great for organization and was easy to assemble. A very sturdy and well-sized product.

Serves purpose and holds what it was intended to
Color: 2 Tier-Black, Color: 2 Tier-Black
I like it. Keeps things organized and handy in small kitchen. The attachable bin holding my brushes I put on outside of unit not inside as company pics show it. That bin only has one clip to hold it in place. This makes it a little wobbly if you want to place it on the outside like I did. I used 2 trash bag twisties to help tighten it into place. Doing this made it no longer lose and the inside area space larger to hold both of my soaps. Fits everything I need it to. I appreciated the little lever on bottom that moves for water drainage. My sink design doesn’t work for the other drainage design I found these to have online.
